Not really bringing them back, they have always been there, but nobody speccs them, since they dont work well with most colors. Most colors just look better with the black optics package.
10:07 I love the sporty Audi. I liked the data on the dashboard at the end of the video. The trunk is almost full, the range is 390 km. Average consumption of 24 liters. Like a Ford Mustang V8.
4:05 The reason for using S-tronic is that it has limit of 550nm which this 3.0TFSI is inside the range which this transmission can handle. If it exceeds 550nm then they need to use ZF8 which is most likely more expensive and or worst for co2 emission.
This is a new version of the S-tronic - the 550 Nm were for the last generation. I read they reinforced the gearbox quite a bit - sadly no Nm numbers out yet. As a engineer i would guess the use of dual-clutch has some efficiency reason with the new 'Triebstranggenerator'. Also it will be related to the upcoming Euro7 regulations. Dual-clutches have a better efficiency than torque converters in general. I would not be surprised to see the 2.9 evo engine of the upcoming RS with that S-tronic aswell.
@@TheEryk03 Not really. Its either a screen or a black panel of the same shape. I don't think most people have a problem with the screen, but with the design of the screen beeing there. If you don't opt for the screen, you get a black panel there, which doesnt change the design unfortunately. Just having a flat dash on the passenger side like on the B9.5 would be better in my eyes, there is literally no need for a 3rd screen in the front.
For all the hater. This is one of the best cars at the moment! You have enough power for fun driving and enough space for your fam. This is what european dads want! It will outclass CLA and C class for sure!

They switched from the 8HP to the DCT for CO2 and easier MHEV Integration. The DCT is mechanically more efficient. Also that Launch control is visious!!!

Been saying this since the release... better than I expected. Exterior is great (speaking about the Avant, the "sedan", that really is a sportback-ish-car, looks weird) with black optics package at least, not a fan of those huge silver elements in the front. Interior is ok, not a fan of the screen layout (why do we even need a 3rd screen? Most unneeded feature ever put into a car). It not beeing a diesel anymore is a huge step up though.
The interior was heavily requested by China. Originally Audi wanted it with 2 screens, where both were separated as in B9, but smoother regarding the general appearance.
Will this come to the US?? The interior is beautiful - audi does that well - except the screens are a bit much IMO. The square steering wheel is a bit goofy. The exterior is, well, I'm not sure - with your camera lense it's hard to tell.
Im so hyped if this is the S5 Avant i cant wait till they launch the RS5 Avant. I hope it will be end this year. Will definitly by that one in 3 years time!
Thank you guys looks like you are killing the press days also (snap to acceleration reminds me Mischa to lap) But not Audi especially with that steering wheel
V6 sound in general is really unique and really nice to hear! the automatic gear shifting can be a lot quicker which can be a reason not to buy this car unless Audi can solve it somehow.
One thing to add on 7:20min … maybe the press map wasn’t correct or this channel misunderstood something wrong. Anyway… At Audi you always have automatic upshifts in manual mode at max engine speed - except of RS-Modells, the R8 or Modells with Race-Mode. Just there you can touch the rev limiter.
Remember that after about 10 or 15 years when the car is going to be affordable for those haters, they will try to encourage You that this is the last TRUE Audi and after that were released trashes only, oh and of course it is gonna be the most beautiful Audi model the Brand ever made. That's the circle of life of every hater of Premium Deutsche Wagen...
looks like they improved on the engine laziness of the b9 generation. that was the biggest drawback of that car in my opinion. you HAD to brake boost it to get proper performance which isn't practical. also think the DCT is an upgrade over the prior gen ZF8 (remember Audi did not tune the ZF8 as good as BMW). I think Audi did a great job all things considered
How come they no longer add the wood veneer panels to the trim? It always looks classy and elegant. Wonder what the next step for motor development is, and what they will add to the new generation in 7-8 years.
yess, the abomination of TDI is gone in EU. annoyingly the 'muricans got the petrol engine in the S4, whereas in EU after facelift it was available on the cabrio S5 only... PS: as a previous owner of a manual S4 B8, I want one!!! but that supercharged engine was a gem! except for the timing chain, which costs 5000-6000€ to have it replaced here in Germany
few simple things stops me from buying this car: - touch buttons on the steering wheel - touch buttons everywhere - very small gear selector - stupid designed 3rd screen and buttons on door card I'll probably switch to Italian cars after the S6 C8
I honestly wish Audi would return to the philosophy of the early-mid 2000s. When there was still wood and beautiful colors in the interior. I think their newer push for this excessive minimalism has really taken lots of taste from the cars. The cars now just look to bleak and minimal even for Audi, which has always been under-the-radar. Also too much plastics, as cool as it is, carbon fiber in cars is really just plastic. It’s just as much a luxury car as it is a sporty car. So metal, leather and wood are still important. All that said, I love wagons and I’m happy that we have newer Avants, and I actually love the way this looks so much! Oh… and I HATE that stupid passenger screen. Like people aren’t already glued to screens 24/7 🙄
Lets be fair. Mercedes puts 2.0 turbo in C43amg. Bmw at the moment looks nice but they will changed it for something similar to new x3 which is cheap inside. At least we got v6 and not so bad interior:)
30 years ago high end cars were about leather, wood, a digital clock and a V12. Today they put a couple touchscreens and people are happy. Have we become pussies ?
@@PERFECT3345 Quit yappin, i’ m an Audi enthousiast too but things needs to be said when they are not good. Compare this with new 3 Serie interior, center console for exemple can be changed to carbon fiber, while it is stricly piano black for the Audi and you cannot switch for better materials.
0:04 "my name is Martin and today I'm taking a lick at the all new Audi S5" :)))))), Martin, you are the best! I could also lick that Audi all day long ;)
i really hate the new interior. Previous gen was picb interior quality and design. Felt so easy and so relaxing. Also while the exterior in not bad, is not as good and i definatelly not like the rear light bar. The v6 is good, but i prefer the v6 tdi for an s model. It was so unique.
I hate the display screens on all the newer cars! The biggest reason is the glare when the sun hits it. You can't see anything anymore. Especially if drive the speed limit and all of a sudden you don't know what it says on the display.

@@Admonitor_ Na. Disagree completely. Black option just looks cheap.
Black accent packages and crass Black alloys have had their time in the limelight. Thank God it's going back to a more classy classic look..
Lacks a few screens on the roof and the floor...what a circus!
I’m pretty sure I noticed a few inches in the cabin without a screen. 😮
😂
Give them time..................I think the 80 inch in front of the driver is more than enough but what do I know...........
That comment wins 😅😂
The screen for front passanger is an option.
Apart from the steering wheel airbag cover, this looks quiet good tbh👍😊
and the gear shifter like wtf is that the older ones were so much better
Man i love my B9 interior *with buttons and switches*
I have a B9 too and still miss my B8.
The B10 interior looks a tad better in some areas but yea it’s missing the buttons. The B10 rs5 is going to be one of the best looking Audis.

Nice car, gorgeous looks! I hope BMW also gets back on track soon.
It deserves to get little bit more PS I think. C43 has 416 PS and M340i has 381 PS. Neverthless it is awesome car.
I’m a BMW guy, but if the S5 Avant or M340 Touring were sold in the US, I’d buy either in a heartbeat!
The third screen is in the shape of the S rhombus. Nice touch
Guys ZF8 speed is Tiptronic in Audi terminology...like S-tronic is DSG and Multitronic is CVT

DSG software tuning has been out there and it can apply to Audi as well. So if you really want a snappier shift there could be a way.
and its throttled for sure
